assess the behaviour of economic agents in different markets evaluate the functioning of the market mechanism and its impact on economic agents illustrate and describe maximising consumer behaviour under conditions of certainty illustrate and describe maximising consumer behaviour under conditions of risk and uncertainty illustrate and evaluate the profit-maximising behaviour of a firm in deciding the quantity of inputs to be used illustrate and evaluate the firm's maximising behaviour in deciding the quantity and price of output under different types of competition. apply the essential analytical tools of microeconomics to describe and analyze real-world problems, while avoiding common analytical errors. assess the implications of changes in demand, costs, market structure, and fundamental changes in government economic policy. |
